Abstract

An image analysis apparatus that analyzes an image of an inspection target, comprising: a selection unit configured to select a folder; and an analysis unit configured to analyze an image inside the folder selected by the selection unit based on a caption setting applied to the folder.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image analysis apparatus that analyzes an image of an inspection target, comprising:
 a selection unit configured to select a folder; and   an analysis unit configured to analyze an image inside the folder selected by the selection unit based on a caption setting applied to the folder.   
     
     
         2 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the selection unit selects a folder that has been selected by a user.   
     
     
         3 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 a provision unit configured to provide an analysis result achieved by the analysis unit based on the caption setting applied to the folder selected by the selection unit.   
     
     
         4 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the provision unit provides the analysis result by displaying the analysis result on a screen.   
     
     
         5 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the provision unit provides the analysis result by downloading a file including the analysis result.   
     
     
         6 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the analysis result is an image in which a line indicating a defect in the inspection target is superimposed on an image including the defect.   
     
     
         7 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the defect includes a crack defect, and   the provision unit provides the image in which the line is superimposed in a display format that varies in accordance with categorization based on a crack width of the crack defect.   
     
     
         8 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein
 in a case where the crack width is not distinguishable, the provision unit provides the image in which the line is superimposed without performing the categorization based on the crack width.   
     
     
         9 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 a folder creation unit configured to create a folder,   wherein the folder creation unit accepts, via a folder creation screen, an input of a folder name, an input of an image resolution to be applied to an image inside the folder, and a selection of a caption setting to be applied to the image inside the folder.   
     
     
         10 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the folder creation unit accepts a selection of a caption setting that has been selected by a user from among a plurality of caption settings that have been registered in advance.   
     
     
         11 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein
 after creating a folder, the folder creation unit does not accept changing of a caption setting for the folder.   
     
     
         12 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 a caption setting generation unit configured to generate a caption setting,   wherein the caption setting generation unit accepts, via a caption setting generation screen, an input of a caption setting name, an input of a category value for categorizing a defect in the inspection target, and a selection of rendering colors in which levels of respective categories are represented.   
     
     
         13 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein
 with regard to a level of a predetermined category, the caption setting generation unit does not accept changing of a rendering color.   
     
     
         14 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein
 with regard to a predetermined defect, the caption setting generation unit does not accept changing of the rendering colors in which the levels of the respective categories are represented.   
     
     
         15 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 an acceptance unit configured to, when the analysis unit executes image analysis, accept a change to a caption setting different from the caption setting that has already been applied to the folder,   wherein the analysis unit executes the analysis while applying the changed caption setting to the folder.   
     
     
         16 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 15 , further comprising
 a provision unit configured to provide an analysis result achieved by the analysis unit based on the caption setting applied to the folder selected by the selection unit,   wherein in a case where the change to the different caption setting has been accepted, the provision unit provides the analysis result so that the analysis result is distinguishable from other analysis results.   
     
     
         17 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the caption setting includes a setting of a rendering element for display of a defect in the inspection target detected through image analysis.   
     
     
         18 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 17 , wherein
 the caption setting includes categories based on a crack width of a crack defect in the inspection target, and settings of rendering elements that correspond to the respective categories.   
     
     
         19 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 18 , wherein
 the caption setting includes categories based on a regional detect in the inspection target, and settings of rendering elements that correspond to the respective categories.   
     
     
         20 . The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the caption setting includes an analysis condition corresponding to a type of a structure that is the inspection target.   
     
     
         21 . A control method for an image analysis apparatus that analyzes an image of an inspection target, comprising:
 selecting a folder; and   analyzing an image inside the folder selected in the selecting based on a caption setting applied to the folder.   
     
     
         22 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image analysis apparatus that analyzes an image of an inspection target, the control method for the image analysis apparatus comprising:
 selecting a folder, and   analyzing an image inside the folder selected in the selecting based on a caption setting applied to the folder.
